Established in 1993, Artsfest is an annual juried arts festival organized by Annmarie Garden - a public sculpture park located in Solomons, Maryland - about an hour from the Baltimore-Washington Metro area.

Recognized as one of the top /font>outdoor arts festivals in the Mid-Atlantic region, Artsfest will bring together some of the country's most accomplished artists for a weekend of art, music, food, wine and micro brews at beautiful Annmarie Garden. Bands and entertainment acts perform
continuously throughout the Garden. Artsfest has a loyal crowd.

There are three booth areas - the Tent Circle, the lovely Wooded Path, and indoors in the award-winning Arts Building. Booth space prices range from $25 up to $150. The event is well run with great volunteers who are available to booth sit. We hope you will make Artsfest a must-do on your list of shows!

    I did this show last year and Leo is correct about the booth fees and how they charge. I'm not entirely opposed to this way of charging booth fees. It gives the promoter incentive to bring buyers! Anyhow, it's a nice little show to do in a beautiful area of the country. I showed in the tent circle and was pleasantly pleased with my sales. Not barnstormer type of sales, but more than I thought a little show in Solomons, Maryland would bring.

    Just a caution to read the application VERY thoroughly. Although the "application fee" is only $150.00, they take a certain percentage of your gross sales as a commission.

    This looks like a great show for those starting out and we'd do it save it's on the same weekend as The Bluemont Fair that we've been at for about eight years.
